Takeaway restaurants · WhatsApp marketing

Let the customer send the order on WhatsApp and receive the ready time back.

WhatsApp marketing for a takeaway restaurant uses the shop's WhatsApp number to take orders, share the menu and send messages to customers who agreed to hear from the shop. GullySales works on the profile, the saved replies, the order format and the rules for messaging.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For takeaway restaurants

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The customer already has the app open”

    Ordering by WhatsApp takes a few seconds and leaves a written record. A phone call during the rush leaves nothing written and the cook can lose the order. The message is the better front door.

  • “A typed order format prevents wrong parcels”

    When the customer writes the dish, quantity and pickup time in a set pattern, the cook reads one clear line. Free text produces misunderstandings, and wrong parcels produce complaints.

  • “A broadcast to everyone is a quick way to be blocked”

    Sending the same message to every number, including people who never agreed, leads to blocks and reports. Messages go only to opted-in numbers, with a reason the customer would accept.

  • “The business account has features a shop never switches on if it uses the app like a personal account”

    The profile, catalogue, away message and saved replies are free tools that save the cook's hands during the rush. A shop run like a personal account loses that benefit.

What we do

What we deliver for takeaway restaurants.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    A complete profile with shop name, hours, address, menu link and description.

    Result: The profile reads as a real shop.

  2. A catalogue or menu message

    The menu set up as a catalogue or as a single saved message with prices.

    Result: A customer receives the menu with one tap.

  3. Saved replies

    Replies for the greeting, the menu, the ready time and the tray enquiry.

    Result: Common questions are answered in one tap.

  4. An order format

    A short pattern the customer fills in, with dish, quantity, name and pickup time.

    Result: Each order arrives in the same shape.

  5. A messaging rulebook

    Rules on who is messaged, how often, and what to do when a customer opts out.

    Result: Messages go only to people who agreed.

  6. A plan for the Business API

    A note on when the shop outgrows the app and what moving to the API involves.

    Result: The owner knows the signs that the shop needs the API.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not for a small counter. The Business app is enough for one phone and a few staff. The API suits a busier shop that needs several users or automation. Check the platform's current rules and charges.
Can we send offers to all our customers?
Send to those who opted in, and keep messages rare and useful. Check the platform's current rules on promotional messages before sending a bulk message.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
